The location in the oldest part of Auxerre with a eyes on the River Yonne and the Abbey is absolutely lovely. Their is a abundant outdoor summer seating and it's one of the few spots open and hustling on a Sunday. Great for a beer or a casual meal.

I will let you figure out how to feel if you want to stay and eat there but there's no answer. No customer service. I'm surprised and confused as I was really looking forward to staying there.

They weren't too busy. The service was exceptional, well trained staff and multiple staff people waiting on our table. My companion had a set menu: starter, 2 main courses and dessert with wine pairings. I don't like eating so much at the typical French dinner time of 8 or 830pm. So I had one main dish and dessert. They brought us amuse bouche with our pre-dinner drinks, upstairs. And then once we took the gold elevator to the ground level there was another light dish before the meal. I had the veal with short rib, with artichokes and a lovely melange of fall vegetables. The veal and short rib were tender and bursting w flavor. My companion had both the lobster and sweetbread dishes. He commented that the sweetbread was excellent. Again we were presented with a pre dessert, a lovely glass piece with tiny bites of various pateries. Delightful. My dessert choice was far superior - napoleon. They cut it into 2 slices and I could only eat the first half. The creme was rich and light at the same time. The pastry also light layers, but still held the dish together.

We were seated and waited a bit, and finally ordered a farmer's salad and assortment of local cheeses along with a pichet of wine. It was about 9 PM and half the tables were empty; wait staff was scurrying around acting very brusquely and not paying any attention to any of the diners. We asked for a glass of ice cubes (since were in this huge heat wave) for the wine. Never got it. Food was very nice quality, fresh and lovely presentation, however the total lack of service left us very disappointed and feeling unwanted and invisible. Nobody came to check how everything was once we were served. The owners would definitely benefit by giving their staff a better training program to make people feel welcome and wanted. The staff was totally indifferent to ALL.

So the name was possibly a turnoff. But you can't be too picky when many restaurants are closed for…read moreAugust vacations. The menu sounded good and we gave it a go. The meal was excellent. I ordered the coquilles saint jacque; my dinner guest had the brochette de poulet. Both were very delicious. They also came with sides that made the plate a complete meal. We finished with the gâteau bourguignon. The servers were kind but too busy. We never got napkins. The bread came late and our carafe went empty. That being said, we'd definitely come again.
